Abstract
The aim of this article is to present a novel model-order reduction (MOR) algorithm for fast finite-element frequency-domain simulations of microwave two-port structures. The projection basis used to construct the reduced-order model (ROM) comprises two sets: singular vectors and regular vectors. The first set is composed of the eigenvectors associated with the poles of the finite-element method (FEM) state-space system, while the second one is made up from the eigenvectors corresponding to the zeros of the diagonal elements of the matrix-valued immittance transfer function. Importantly, just one LU factorization of the FEM system is required to construct the projection basis during the reduction process, due to the application of a new formulation based on the Schur complement. The sets of eigenvectors that are used in the basis are independent of one another, which makes the new technique better suited for parallel computing compared with previously developed methods, which are sequential in nature. The reliability and accuracy of the proposed scheme are compared with that of the standard MOR technique, namely, the reduced-basis method (RBM), and verified through the analysis of three microwave structures: an eighth-order dual-mode waveguide filter, a dielectric resonator filter, and a folded waveguide filter.
